In the New Testament idolatory as
worship of images is de-emphasised and is seen more to reside in behaviours
and attitudes that put self-comfort and self-gratification before God.
The Christian is encouraged to renounce such behaviours and therefore to
analagously destroy such "idols" as greed, for example. In addition, we
have a New Testament record of occult practitioners who became Christians
and who were encouraged to and willingly destroyed their ouija aboards
and similar detestable occult paraphrenalia.

Yet the OT approval of the destruction
of Pagan images is not rescinded.

I consider that it is permissible
and Biblical for Christians to destroy pagan images in such a way that
the Taliban has done.
